Fuel Tank Filler Cap

Filler cap incorporates a two-way relief valve which is closed to atmosphere under normal operating conditions. Relief valve is calibrated to open only when a pressure of more than 0.8 psi or vacuum of more than 0.2 in. Hg occurs. When pressure or vacuum is relieved, valve returns to normally closed position.

NOTE: It is normal to occasionally encounter an air pressure release when removing the filler cap.
